Size-exclusion chromatography Mark-Houwink constants

A selection of literature values for Mark-Houwink constants K and a in tetrahydrofuran, which is the eluent most commonly used in size-exclusion chromatography, is collected in Table 1 for the principal polymer structures. An accurate, more extensive compilation of the same constants for homopolymers and copolymers may be found in Ref. 22.
